Before The Wanted went their separate ways Max George was seen auditioning for television roles in Hollywood on the band’s reality show.
And it seems the singer has caught the acting bug as he’s hoping for a role in a British soap.
The newly-haired hunk is auditioning for parts from his home in Los Angeles after impressing fans with his appearance on Glee.
Speaking from America, he told The Sun: “I’m really happy out here and Glee was one of my first auditions.
“To get that and be hanging around with people such as Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison has been the best experience for me.
“I do miss my family though and I’m still auditioning for roles in the UK. I’d be up for being in a soap, definitely.
“I’ve always been a big fan of them and I won’t have to perform an American accent.”
Luckily, Max has access to some big Hollywood stars who he can tap up for advice.
He said: “I have met Tom Hanks, randomly. It was on a murder mystery night. My agent Scooter Braun is friends with him and he said to come round and when I walked in Tom was just sat there.
“He was so perfect, I thought I was seeing him at Madame Tussauds. He was so cool.
“I don’t know if I was drunk or in awe of him but the night was a blur. I talked to him about work a little.
“But I had my best bit of advice from Mickey Rourke – he just said ‘don’t become an arsehole.’”
Good advice...
